Settings #
In the Mailgun Settings section of Groundhogg, you will find the following settings:
Webhook Signing Key – This is provided by Mailgun to verify that a webhook from their servers is genuine.
Verify Webhooks – Using the key above, our extension will verify each webhook is genuine. We recommend you enable this option.
Update Contacts – When enabled, we will attempt to update a contact based on the information returned from Mailgun. This will include geolocation data. Importantly, by default, we do not overwrite any information that is already entered for a contact. We will attempt to update:
- Country
- Region
- City
- IP Address
- Timezone
Auto Unsubscribe – When enabled, we will automatically unsubscribe a contact when an email permanently fails. This can be useful to keep your list clean, improve deliverability and decrease bounces. We recommend you enable this setting.
